What it is
A short profile of the three composers of the Trinity: their years (1762 to 1827, 1767 to 1847, 1776 to 1835), their languages, the pen-name Guruguha, and the sizes of their repertoires, under the Thanjavur court.
Why it is useful here
An independent source for the Trinity dates and languages; it differs from other sources on Dikshitar's birth year and on Syama Sastri's languages.
